Installing SquirrelMail
From the SquirrelMail webpage:
"SquirrelMail is a standards-based webmail package written in PHP4... with all the functionality you would want from an email client, including strong MIME support, address books, and folder manipulation."
You can download SquirrelMail from prdownloads.sourceforge.net/squirrelmail/squirrelmail-1.0.6.tar.gz
[root@moe]# cd /usr/local/apache/htdocs [root@moe html]# tar -xzf /home/stew/squirrelmail-1.0.6.tar.gz [root@moe html]# mv squirrelmail-1.0.6 webmail [root@moe html]# chown -R nobody.nobody webmail [root@moe html]# chmod -R 400 webmail [root@moe html]# chmod -R u+X webmail [root@moe html]# cd webmail [root@moe html]# chmod u+w data [root@moe html]# cd config [root@moe config]# perl conf.pl SquirrelMail Configuration : Read: config_default.php --------------------------------------------------------- Main Menu -- 1.

Many of the defaults are fine. You'll need to change the server setting from "cyrus" to "uw". There is also support for other IMAP servers. You can set the organization name and other optional features as appropriate. You will also want to set the domain name appropriately or use "localhost". If you don't care for the name or the "squirrel" graphic, you can replace these with your own organization's logo. The default settings end up in config/config.php should you decide to make changes later.
